Dear all, Here is link to the press release by the Ministry of Transport and Communications (in English): http://www.lvm.fi/web/en/pressreleases/view/920100 While this an encouraging development there are some ifs and buts concerning the speeds, to allow for delivery using mobile networks. This is supposed to be an intermediary step in making a 100 Mb connection a legal right by the end of 2015.

Dear all,
as Heidi from the At-Large Staff brought to our attention, Finland will be the first European country fixing Access to Internet as a basic right. According to an article published in Le Monde today stating that the Finnish Ministry of Transport and Communications has announced that beginning in July 2010 access to the Internet will be the equivalent of an opposable right.
